So we should use bats! It brings the whole thing full circle!

Michigander here.

She has been doing a good job of working in the administration to hammer out education details as schools have been closed and shall be for the remainder of the school year.

She has been making sure that unemployment benefits are changed to accommodate those out of work, freeze foreclosures, and is working on other forms of financial relief.

She has been clearing communicating with the departments to organise where field hospitals will be and how many beds may be necessary.

She is considering all of her citizens, not just a select few.

She has been pushing for supplies and working on prioritisation within her administration for how to distribute it effectively.

She has been doing what governors are supposed to do- manage from a high level with care and consideration.

Now, I don't always agree with her. The $0.40/gallon gas tax she proposed was ass-backwards. The flavoured vape ban was frustrating. But she has a calm head and is handling the crisis fairly well, all things considered- she's not an idiot.

I cannot agree enough about avoiding use of company resources. Even if it's "Guest WiFi", steer clear. People who want to prevent a person who did nothing wrong or illegal from being successful, clearly don't care much for morality.

It's wonderful having affordable network service from phones as hotspots, and even a car can be a functional office to get off of company resources like network and prevent people from thinking you are using time paid for by employer X to consult with client Y

As a developer with a strong DBA background, I totally agree with you, but it's already hard enough to get other devs to stop abusing NULL

It's scary how true this is. I love the idea of capitalism, but like anything else, it requires honesty and integrity which is severely lacking, and especially so when money is involved. What concerns me even more is how the public opinion is that there is more to life than money, and yet the members making that public opinion contradict it so firmly.

Disclaimer: "Public Opinion" is hard to pin down to specific people. I use it in this case because, in my experience, peers talk about money not being so important, and public speakers talk about the important of enjoying the organic things in life, and so on. This does not insinuate that any particular percentage of people feel this way, but that it is presented as such in open forums.

I think there comes a point of reasonable suspicion when dealing with remembering passwords: were you carrying the phone with you, powered on? Then you probably remember the password. Was it sitting on a desk with a dead battery and hasn't been online in over a month? More likely you forgot the passcode as using a new phone took priority. It's like combination locks in highschool, kind of.

I would love to see video of the circumstances leading up to this arrest. If the car smelled dank, there exists probable cause. If the guy met the description of a dealer reported by several people in a neighbourhood, suspicion isn't unreasonable.

Maybe the cop and courts are all assholes, maybe not. Need some context here, bruh.

Maybe I'm weird for being in Michigan, but there's no EZ Pass implemented here, my dude. Just cell phones and cars on the cell network.

Eh, as I understand it, Apple did that thing where they purposely make a new trail when there are already perfectly good trails available. Rather than say "here's the new best for everything to use", they go with "here's the thing that you can't back out of once you are assimilated into the machine."

Then I've got the perfect product for you! A 7M/0Hz single core processor. Actually, it's a boulder, but I call it a processor. Since it's so big, so slow, and doesn't actually do anything, there are no faults, ever!

Everyone in this sense is no literally everyone. It's just the vast majority: people who cried about Facebook and other social media tracking you. People who get annoyed at the ads in windows services. Definitely to anyone using an adblocker (of which I am guilty), but still saying good/services should not have a pricetag attached.

As for the hardware being cheaper now than ever? Yeah, it is cheaper. But that doesn't mean it's pennies to buy or maintain. Its certainly not free, so there still needs to be some form of revenue. Obviously you aren't part of the purchasing process for new hardware.

Why does everyone expect digital/virtual goods and services to be free? And then those same people flip shit about the advertising and sales of submitted and extrapolated data about them. The resources to host this stuff, and do so reliably, quickly, and securely, is not cheap. The cost to continue improving it is not cheap. Explain to me, please, why you expect a whole lot of something for absolutely nothing.
